1. Genetic organization of encapsulated and non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains. Analysis of the glpTQ and 23S rRNA operons
Sammanfattning : Encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and non-encapsulated H. influenzae (NTHi) are important pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections in children. A 42 kDa surface-exposed lipoprotein, protein D, has been found to be a potential virulence factor of NTHi. LÄS MER
2. Mechanisms of cell type-specific gene transcription : studies on the choline acetyltransferase gene
Sammanfattning : Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is the enzyme synthesizing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Previous studies from our laboratory on the regulation of the cholinergic phenotype have suggested the presence of regulatory elements in the ChAT gene controlling accurate time- and cell-specific expression.

3. Development of a recombinant protein vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum is one of the world´s deadliest diseases, killing one to two million children, while another 500 million suffer from clinical attacks every year. Infections caused by P. LÄS MER
4. Homing Endonucleases and Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bacteria and Bacteriophages
Sammanfattning : Homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) are selfish genetic elements that mediate their own super-Mendelian inheritance. This is mediated by the homing endonuclease cleavage of a HEG- allele followed by recombination-repair with a HEG+ allele.The majority of the HEGs are encoded in intervening sequences (IVSs). LÄS MER
5. Action Potential Generator and Electrode Testing
Sammanfattning : Design, validation and application of a test platform for electrode characterization and comparison is a problem today. Development of target specific electrodes is increasing, for example surface cloth electrodes, non-contact electrodes, and deep brain stimulation electrodes. LÄS MER
